There are marriages that unravel not in one swift motion, but thread by thread, until the quiet between two people grows louder than the words that once held them together. Such is the account of Courtney Myers, who, through her counsel Mayra Flesner of Flesner Wentzel, filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in St. Charles County, Missouri, on September 30, 2025, seeking to dissolve her marriage to Chadrick Myers. The couple wed on August 21, 2004, in Grand Traverse County, Michigan, and separated constructively in late August 2025—twenty-one years after their vows.

The petition cites irreconcilable differences and marital misconduct as having led to the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. What once may have been a shared life now reads, in legal language, as an impasse with no road back. The filing reveals that the couple share four children, one emancipated, and that Courtney seeks sole legal and sole physical custody of the remaining three, believing such an arrangement to be in their best interests. She requests child support and an order that Chadrick maintain health, dental, and vision insurance for their children.

Beyond custody, Courtney asks for maintenance, attorney’s fees, and equitable division of marital property and debt. The tone of the petition is formal but not cold; beneath its measured phrases lies a story of endurance that has reached its last page. What remains now is for the court to divide what time, trust, and tenderness have already begun to separate.
